Hi. You're amazing! If you could take a quick second to answer this, you would honestly change my life: What do I physically need to do during practice, each day, to eventually be able to create art like you? How did you learn and become so amazing?!!

Can you please break down exactly what one extremely motivated beginner student would need to do, each & every day when he or she sits down to practice, in order to create these incredible photorealistic 2d digital drawing/paintings?

People just say 'Practice.' But I do not know 'exactly' what this entails.

Can you maybe make me, like, a list or something?!! So I can then go out and explore those topics? Or at least tell me what I need to physically be doing with my practice time so I can get as good as you?

If there's any books/DVDs/tutorials you can recommend that totally helped you get better, that would be so freakin' incredible!!!

I love the idea of what looks like a blue agave field. Also, the dirt in the foreground is beautiful and well worth the apparent time put into this piece. Her face says "Get it before it gets me", which is another thing that stood out to me. I just love this.

the main reason this makes me happy is because she looks like she actually IS a warrior.. not just a pretty face who happens to have a blade it looks like she has no idea how to use.. I LOVE illustrations of badasses.. good sheeeeyit
